Activex not updating

Important: There are two Flash players offered for Windows users: the Flash Active X control for Internet Explorer/AOL and the Flash plugin for Firefox/Mozilla/Opera browsers.

Each must be installed separately, since the Flash plugin installer does not add the Active X control and vice versa.

Even though the Flash plugin is also referred to as "Shockwave Flash", it should not be confused with the Shockwave plugin that handles "Shockwave for Director" content.

Note: On Windows, the Flash plugin is detected via plugin scanning.

To see if the Flash plugin is working and what version is being used, visit one of these pages: If Flash is not installed, this may trigger the Plug-in Finder Service, which you can use to download and install the Flash plugin on Windows (see below).

At time of writing, the Plug-in Finder Service is triggered but fails to install the Flash plugin on Linux or Mac OS in Firefox 3 and above (you will need to manually download and install the plugin).
